Percentage of People Wearing Masks Correctly Outdoors at CU. Figure shows the proportions of correct, incorrect, and no mask usage observed outdoors on campus (left) and outdoors off campus (right). At CU, there was a significant difference observed in masking behavior outdoors based on being on or off campus (p < .001). A Bonferroni post-hoc correction was used to compare masking behaviors on campus to off campus. The frequency of proper masking was higher on campus than off campus (80.7% vs. 58.4%, p < .001) and conversely the frequency of not wearing a mask was higher off campus than on campus (28.5% vs. 8.7%, p < .001). After correction there was no statistically significant difference between wearing a mask incorrectly on campus or off campus (10.6% vs. 13.1%, p = .754).
